IBO 2023 PROGRAM

Two conference days will provide a broad range of forward-thinking sessions, panels and presentations dealing with every aspect of the blueberry industry, including genetics, production technology, sustainability, transport and logistics, consumer behavior, health research and more. A panel involving key players from the largest blueberry production and distribution companies will discuss what the future holds for the industry. As highlighted by the Summit’s motto, “Making blueberries the world’s favorite superfruit”, the best marketing practices from around the world will be the focus of a special session on promotion.

LOCATION Lublin, a scenic city in south-eastern Poland with over 700 years of history, is situated at the crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe. It is also the capital of Poland’s leading berry-growing region, which boasts a unique climate, with the highest number of sunny days per year in the country, making it a perfect place for soft fruit production.
